Leftover Potato Pancakes

The day after Thanksgiving is fantastic for spending time with family, relaxing, and of course, eating a lot of delicious leftovers. It is so funny at the end of Thanksgiving Day to see everyone back in the kitchen with tupperware and ziploc bags ready to be filled and taken home. Even though there is no way one more bite could fit in anyone’s stomach, everyone is thinking ahead to the next day. Somehow, there is always enough for everyone to take home huge portions of everything! If I am not hosting, I gladly accept the food and think about what I can whip up the next day. It is pretty much a guarantee that I will make Leftover Potato Pancakes in the morning. Don’t get me wrong, mashed potatoes alone are delicious, but adding cheese and green onions and frying them in oil and butter, makes a super tasty breakfast. Leftover Potato Pancakes is a great way to use up some of your extra food, with only adding a few more simple ingredients.

I have made these for years and I never get tired of them. It all started when I was 7 weeks pregnant with my son. I woke up one day and morning sickness hit me like a ton of bricks. Seriously? How was it possible to feel so terrible? Well, my mother-in-law used some leftovers to throw potato pancakes in the pan and I ate a huge stack as soon as they hit the plate. Ah! I felt so much better. My little bean just needed some carbs and we were good to go, at least for a little while, until the sickness started all over again. Anyways, I have made them ever since, adding a couple of ingredients, and I always enjoy them! As a matter of fact, my son loves them too! He must have fond memories of eating them while he was the size of a grape in my belly!

Leftover Potato Pancakes are delicious and easy to make! I enjoy them with sour cream, but they are also great alone!

OK, I have tried to make these things before {not your recipe} and they fell apart! BUT, I was not actually following a recipe! I never knew you needed to add other things {like flour and egg} so I never tried to make them again. Until now! These look so incredibly good!Rachel @ I Love My Disorganized Life recently posted..Mixed-Up Caramel Turtles
